Wellcome is a global charitable foundation. We want everyone to benefit from science’s potential to improve health and save lives.
We support discovery research into life, health and wellbeing, and we’re taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
The first healthy babies born in the UK thanks to mitochondrial donation show what science can achieve when combined with advocacy and engagement to build trust. Wellcome has funded the research, convened the public engagement that saw UK law change and supported the clinical trial that will give families hope for a healthier future.
